My favorite poet is Anna Bradstreet, she writes about her faith and love for family and friends. Mrs. Bradstreet's written works are full of passion and love. She gives a unique insight into what life was like during her time.

It’s hard to pick, but I’ve always like Adrienne Rich, Charles Bukowski, and Pablo Neruda. I like poems that have a storytelling element, some grit, and a lyrical, musical quality.

I like imagist poetry and hence the poems of AK Ramanujan, William Carlos Williams, Emily Dickinson appeal to me the most.

Andrea Gibson is my current (possibly all-time) favorite. There's so much emotion and beautiful wordplay in their poems.

lyricist, speciffically in hiphop, i find ffar outclass poets, as they make relatable poetry with dancable songs. thats far more impressive to me, so if i had to pick one person, im a Sam Lachow fan, but also eminem because off the broadest mass appeal, a noticably calculatable rhyme scheme, and dre's backing as a gangster. id love to see a song where dre, snoop, and some of ems idols make a collab called mouth candy. HMU dre or em or whoever needs something to make that collab happen ;]

My favorite poet is Keats! I cannot get over how someone who died at 25 years old was able to produce so much inspiring and lovely poetry. His poems are such an inspiration!

My favorite poet is Najwa Zebian. The way she writes and the words she uses are amazing. I can connect with her words easily.

I have read some of the works of Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Rupi Kaur and many others. It is quite difficult to pick a favorite among these talents.

I love Emily Dickenson and her poem Because I Could Not Stop For Death though another favorite would have to be Robert Frost.
